There doesn't seem to be a 450SX version yet.......

All ATV's have to go through a special EPA registration and test if they want to sell in Cali; there is a listing for a KTM 525XC & 450XC Quad and interestingly there is a new listing for an Outlaw 450 as well.

I remember reading some were a while ago that they were bringing out the cross country (xc) first then the mx about september. If its like other KTM bikes you could use the xc for mx and it would still be better than a standard jap quad.

[cowchaser]

If they bought out a SX version then it would be for closed course competition only and it wouldn't need to have those restrictions applied you would think just like there dirt bikes
